I have a tendency to think of myself as the mutt of the litter. I'm not purebred.

I would take plays and I would cut out all the other dialogue and make long monologues because I felt the other kids weren't taking it as seriously as I did.

I MUST go to what desperately frightens me - the chance of failure.

The bad thing about being with an actor is that the role he's in stays with him all the time. The good thing about being with an actor - well, I can't think of any good thing.

I was just lucky enough to grow up in a time when they actually had drama departments in schools.

You try to get rid of the things that are weighing you down.

I did comedies for 10 years and I learned a great deal.
